Answer: 20x
Step-by-step explanation:
First we should note that 60 minutes = 1 hour. Therefore, 15 minutes = 15/60 = 1/4 hour
Since Jean can pack 5 cartons in 1/4 hours, the number of carton that he can pack in one hour will be:
= 5 ÷ 1/4
= 5 × 4
= 20 cartons.
Therefore, to get the number of cartons that Jean can pack in x hours, we will multiply 20 by x. This will be:
= 20 × x
= 20x
Problem 33
Use the distributive property on the side containing parentheses of each expression and compare it to the other side.
a) 3(5a + 3) = 15a + 9 not equal to 15a + 6
b) 2(7b - 2) = 14b - 4 not equal to 14b + 4
c) 5(2c + 3) = 10c + 15 not equal to 7c + 8
d) 3(d + 5/3) = 3d + 5 which is equal to 3d + 5
Answer for problem 33: d)
Problem 34
Use a proportion. Let the unknown number of bowls be x. The proportion is made up of two ratios that are set equal to each other. Set each ratio as a ratio of the number of avocados per bowls of guacamole. 3 avocados per 1 bowl (3/1) equals 17 avocados per x bowls (17/x).





Answer: 17/3 full bowls which is the same as 5 2/3 full bowls.

≥-4
Pretend the greater than or equal to sign is an equal sign, we will substitute it back in later.
x/2 = -4
Multiply both sides by 2 to get x alone
x = -8
Substitute the greater than or equal to sign back in and voila!
x≥-8
Answer:
Associative.
Step-by-step explanation:
In addition and multiplication, it does not matter which two numbers you put together first. On the left aide 6 is associated with 3. On the right side 3 is grouped with 7. It doesn't matter where 3 goes. You still get the same answer.
(6 + 3) + 7 = 6 + (3 + 7)
9 + 7 = 6 + 10
16 = 16
